WORKSHOP: Photovoice Part 1 - Gather

Photovoice is a qualitative method of community-based participatory research. It combines photography with social action in order to raise awareness of community issues, map community strengths, and solve problems together. The method was first invented in China and used in the Yunnan Province to influence policies that affected women in rural areas. Participants in the Photovoice workshop will learn how to run a Photovoice session and contribute to the Schwarzman Women’s Conference Photovoice Project which will be on display during the conference in the Forum.

OPENING PANEL: Corner Office Success

A master class conversation with Christine Lam, CEO, Citi China, President, Citibank China Co., Ltd


Moderator: Joan Kaufman, Senior Director for Academic Programs, Schwarzman College


Leadership - Designed for seasoned professionals and aspiring leaders looking to make another big step forward in their careers.

Common wisdom says the fast track to senior leadership is diligently climbing up the career ladder right after graduating from prestigious universities, maybe acquiring an MBA along the way. Yet much research has shown that oftentimes alternative paths and intuitive decision making have helped some of the most successful CEOs come out on top. What are these decisions that, looking back, leaders would consider pivotal to their careers? And what are some valuable principles that guided them to where they are today? The panelists of this session share those stories that have led them to the corner office.

Moderator: Dr. Lin Gao, CEO of Message Coach


Career Guidance - Designed for entry and mid level professional women looking for advice around transitions and advancements.

Many of us experience moments in our lives where we are unable to discern where our passions lie. Even if we have identified a passion we often lack the confidence to make a leap of faith in fully pursuing that passion. Our two entrepreneurial panelists managed to do both. They managed to identify niche markets whose demands prompted them to turn their interests into sizable ventures. What was their process of identifying their interests? And how did they know it was the right time to make a strategic, but nonetheless risky, move? Join us at this panel to learn more.
